Jack Black has paid tribute to his
School of Rock co-star Kevin Clark, who passed away at the age of just 32, describing him as a "beautiful soul."
Clark played drummer Freddy Jones in the classic 2003 comedy, but tragically died on Wednesday after he was hit by a motorist whilst out cycling in Chicago, according to the
Chicago Sun Times.
The film's star Jack Black paid a heartfelt tribute to the 32-year-old on Instagram.
"Devastating news," he wrote.
"Kevin is gone. Way too soon. Beautiful soul. So many great memories. Heartbroken. Sending love to his family and the whole
School of Rock community."

School of Rock was the Clark's only film credit, with him
previously saying that he only got the the role because he could actually play the drums.
